June is Dairy Month--FREE Activities to Celebrate

June is Dairy Month! Did you ever think about where our pasteurized milk comes from and the process used to get it to drinking stage?  

Take a virtual dairy farm tour with Tara from Cold Run Jerseys farm. 

Make a list of all the items you eat and use that contain dairy products. 

Some great discussion starters include: What's your favorite dairy product: ice cream, milkshakes, or a tall glass of cold milk? Do you have a favorite cow story? Have you been to a dairy farm? 

Would you like to adopt a cow? If so, go to Discover Dairy and sign up! The website also offers funding for class trips to dairies, free educational resources, real life dairy farm stories, and much more.

Help students celebrate Dairy Month and learn about dairy products with some of the free, fun activities below:

Hope you and your students enjoy Dairy Month!
